If you haven’t found someone you connect with, maybe cross-check this list with your online dating profile . . .

Someone polled 1,000 people who use dating apps and asked for the biggest online dating “icks.” So, things that immediately turn you off.

Here are the Top Five:

1.  Negativity or bitterness.  70% said it’s an ick.

2.  Heavily filtered photos, 63%.  Don’t try to make yourself look TOO good.

3.  Being too materialistic, 62%.  Like multiple photos of you with your car.

4.  A general lack of effort, 60%.  So it looks like you didn’t try very hard.

5.  Poor grammar or spelling, 60%.  Again, you look lazy and/or dumb.  If you’re not great with that stuff, just run it through a spellchecker or ChatGPT.

Now, here are the top five things that can do the opposite, and make someone immediately think you ARE worth their time . . .

1.  A good sense of humor, 82%.

2.  Showing off your hobbies or interests, 80%.

3.  Having a good sense of style, 76%.

4.  Showing an interest in travel, 71%.

5.  Have a pet in at least one photo, 65%.
